It is well established [1]-[2] that introductoryprograming, or technical computing, is a difficult topic for students to grasp during their initialexposure. New nomenclature, use of new software, and structural elements of programming(controls, loops, algorithms) are just some of the hurdles that need to be overcome in anintroductory course.

This left a burr on thecut pieces that needed to be smoothed off with a file. Current hand-held cutters are much improvedfrom this initial design, but there are still concerns about the impact of the repetitive task of cuttingon the upper-extremity musculoskeletal structure. Using poorly designed manual wire stripperscan cause physical health issues over a long period of time such as arthritis, wrist tendinitis andother such disorders.

In this course,each learner will design their own infographic and then share it with the whole class to have peerfeedback about their design. Thus, the students will learn what an infographic is and the process of designing it. The first key idea is understanding the data, specifically with respect to the principle of data visualization. The second major idea is the understanding of the data visualization techniques and making sure that they know several of them. The third big idea is that they need to map and apply those two together. Table 1 provides a visual concept map for teaching infographic design.

The two courses are usually taught by different instructors, andessentially are two separate courses with no interactivity between the two.
